The Justin McCorkle Band is a newly formed Spartanburg group that seems poised to make quite a splash in southern rock circles, which wouldn't be a surprise given its namesake's rich musical heritage. Justin McCorkle is the son of the late George McCorkle, a founding member of the Marshall Tucker Band who famously wrote “Fire on the Mountain.” The younger McCorkle's outfit explores similar musical territory, including the use of flute as a prominent instrument.

Justin McCorkle Band will perform 9 p.m. Friday at The Cellar Club, 1071 Fernwood-Glendale Road in Spartanburg. Call 699-9730 for more information.
